MODULATED
The doors are made of laminated MDF – Medium Density Fiberboard (MDF) covered with laminate on one side (single-sided laminated MDF). The laminate is glued onto the MDF surface at a temperature of about 180-200°C and a pressure of about 2.5 N/mm2. The laminate is paper that is impregnated (soaked) with melamine resin. The quality of the laminate is determined by two factors:
1) paper - the laminates of the boards we offer are made of paper with a grammage of 120-140 g/m2. The grammage of the paper is important, because with papers with a lower grammage (thinner papers) there is a high probability of it showing through. Another important factor is the printing of the paper (what we see as UNI, wood decor or other imitation). This is a purely printing process and the quality of the print depends on the number of colors applied to the paper.
2) melamine resin Melamine - a complex cyclic chemical compound with a crystal lattice containing three carbon molecules. Melamine is used in the production of synthetic resins. Melamine resin - a synthetic resin formed after condensation (thickening) of formaldehyde and melamine. It has the property of permanently hardening after heating. It is used as a coating (laminate), as a mixture for making household items, as an adhesive, etc. The resin is characterized by high wear resistance, is difficult to scratch and is a relatively inexpensive material. The thickness of the melamine resin layer determines the wear resistance of the final product and is 0.1 mm.
